At this time, we are counting on AT&amp;T for data connectivity during the hurricane. We have a generator powered by natural gas from the local gas company. I have other sites hosted by others in other parts of the country, so Office Cafe could quickly be moved to one of those, but for the time being, the primary server will be used to test our emergency systems.<\/p>\n<p>For another point of view on the hurricane, please check out the blog of a good friend of ours, <strong>David Helbig<\/strong>. He can be found at <a href=\"http:\/\/davidhelbig.com\">davidhelbig.com<\/a>. He will be reporting from within the storm. He blogs on a variety of topics, so please look around while you are there, and enjoy a good read.<\/p>\n<p>While you are at it, my wife, Marla blogs on many interesting topics. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.coffeeshopjournal.com\"><strong>Coffee Shop Journal<\/strong><\/a> is where you can find her blog. Many people check in with her daily. She has a perspective that really makes you think. Check it out!<\/p>\n<p>With the storm still in the Atlantic, several factors will steer its direction and strength. The computer models do not all agree with the forecast track. We are accustomed to keeping an eye on the predicted track for several days as the hurricane nears. So we still hope and pray that Hurricane Ike will take a steeper turn away from the Eastern seaboard, heading harmlessly back out to sea. But we will continue to prepare, because in Florida, that&#8217;s just what we do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is now old news.
